MUNCIE, Ind. — A Ball State student cashed in Saturday during Ball State's men's basketball game against Akron.

Noah Waechter made a half-court shot to win $10,000 during the first half of the game.

When the Star Press sought confirmation from Ball State that Waechter did indeed win the prize, the following statement was provided: The contest was a promotion called The Vault, a half-court shot with Saturday's prize worth $10,000. Noah won the contest, pending a customary insurance review common to all such promotions.
